It appears to be TN-56.

Yes it is!  This is northbound going over Center Hill Lake (Caney Fork River) in Smith County north of Smithville and ~5 miles south of I-40.  Near here is the Joe L. Evins Appalachian Center for Craft, which is a satellite campus of Tennessee Tech University (which if I had not been such a slacker in my youth I would be a TTU alumnus).

This bridge is one of (I think) two deck truss bridges in the state of Tennessee built in the 60's.  After the Minneapolis I-35W bridge collapse, TDOT identified this bridge and one on I-40 over Douglas Lake (French Broad River) as having the same inherent defects, and made plans to rehabilitate both bridges and correct the defects.  Ever since the April 1, 1989 US 51 Hatchie River Bridge collapse, TDOT made it a long term mission to rehabilitate and/or replace all structurally deficient bridges, and now has some of the best bridges in the country, despite current pavement conditions in some high profile locations.

Anyway, cockroachking now has control.

Hint:
The bridge in the picture carries a segment of the Empire State Trail.

This one is frustrating me so much that I'm boycotting until I find the exact location.  :-D

Not intending to make this too difficult, I will post a photo of a state route in my home state of Fibtopia (Illinois):

Good guess! But this is another riverside state highway, complete with adjoining bike trail!
